Alright guys, I'm looking at taking the plunge into bitcoin or some other coin.

I have a few questions,

1. What are some of the coin purchasing platforms you would recommend

2. What does the short term future for bitcoin look like (should I jump in now or wait a sec for a dip to occur)?

3.What other coins should I be considering? LTC,ETH,XRP,ect...



Is it still viable to mine for some type of coin? Back in the early days of coin I'd mine bitcoin with an old I7 and make a decent profit but I doubt it's the same anymore.

Thanks
